So I'm not training for any MMA discipline or anything, but I wanted to work out hard, and I didn't want to spend much $$ on equipment. I live more out in the country than in the city, so a friend and I got creative and "made" a lot of our equipment.

---------------------------------------------------------

Equipment:

Tractor tires x3 - I went to my local Les Schwab and asked them for a used tractor tire. They were ecstatic and told me to take whatever I wanted out back, so I picked up three of them- First one is large but fairly light, but each one larger/heavier than the previous

Medicine Ball - I found an old kickball, ran down to the river nearby and filled it with sand/rocks then taped the hell out of it. Works very well!

"Kettle bell" - For this I actually grabbed a liquid laundry detergent container and filled it with some old cement that I had in the garage. I think it weighs about 20 pounds. I plan to do this again with a larger container as well as a smaller container, as soon as I do more laundry :P

Rope- Well, I didn't McGuyver this out of anything... just had to buck up and find an old fishing shop with some large rope that's long/heavy enough to work out with.

Done!



My schedule is to do Workout 1, then have a Cardio day then do Workout 2 followed by a Cardio day etc.

Cardio consists of running or mountain biking up a local trail, or when the weather gets better I'll go swimming in the river. When I do Cardio I pretty much do a warm up then go until failure, followed by a cooldown (running back DOWN the mountain for example)


I'm not trying to get Beefcake or anything really... just to get more toned and stay that way I guess.

Matt Hughes? Honestly, this is pretty cool, nice job my dude.

Oh and can a mod move this? I just noticed I noobed it up and posted in the wrong dog damned spot.

Awesome!
Melvin Manhoef would be proud for your 'Explosive Day' routine

You made it up yourself? It's very creative!

Most people in your situation would whine because they live in the middle of nowhere and have no place to train.

Congrats!


EDIT: Don't Forget the Box Jumps!

We do a similar work out once a week at my friends farm. Try tying the rope around your waist and the other end to a car tire w/ the hub and sprint.
Also if you can pick the tire up over head and walk 200 yards one way and do lunges back. If you have to stop and put the tire down then do 20 no weighted squats before picking it back up.

Good Stuff!

I'm working on figuring out how to make a good harness... I thought of using an old backpack or something to tear apart into a harness to tie to the smallest tire.

southpaw447

You could buy a or make a sled and do something with that.

Kinda like this



or you could just get a snowsled or a slab and throw some heavy shit on there and pull it around. It would be better, IMO to use ropes or handles and not a harness that way you can work on grip strength

southpaw447

or pull a car

This is really cool man, a few years back when I still lived on our farm I did a lot of stuff like this. We had a fairly nice (calm) pig too that I would try and wrestle, never won, but it wore my butt out, if you can, try it. Make sure its a nice one though, I still have scars from the first one I tried.
